I’m usually a Stanz breakfast aficionado (shoutout Greek gyro hash) but don’t be sleeping on their lunch / dinner menu. Home to the best Philly Cheesesteak in GH. Super fresh roll. Pro trip- put Cajun seasoning on your fries. Annette and her crew here always go above and beyond. My favorite spot in town by far.

Great little space serving artisan quality sausages and cuisine. Friendly and welcoming , efficient Staff, great selection of beer on tap, nicely executed mixed drinks. Highly recommend the Jambalaya with the fantastic sausage and the Polish Platter, with portions to feed an army and yet very reasonably priced. Cutest servers in Grand Haven and good at what they do. Highly recommended, we'll definitely be back!

I am always looking to support small businesses. We had been here a couple years ago and had a fabulous meal. This time around was not fabulous. Our server was sweet and attentive. We did not have to wait to be stated. We arrived at 515, before the dinner crowd. We ordered a flat bread for an appetizer. It was luke warm amd the crust was very soft. There was supposed to be pesto on it, and there was none. I ordered a brisket sandwich with gouda. There were 2 round slices of cold cheese. One on the top and one on the bottom. The meat was not hot enough to melt the cheese and the side of sweet potatoa fries were warm at best. Our server offered to take it back to warm it up, but putting it in a microwave would have made it worse. My husband ordered a walleye roll and sent it back, bc the

Cute small tavern vibe. Amazing food and service. Special note to whomever was in the kitchen this morning: it's been almost 30 years since I've had such amazing golapki. It really reminded me of my great grandmother. Thank you for your attention to detail and deliciousness.

The Gumbo IS the best in Michigan. Prove me wrong!! Try the steak and eggs. For a breakfast steak, it was very flavorful and not tough. Hash browns were perfect. I'll be back here as often as possible.
